Medifications and dreams

[Tsen]

Hey peoples, haven't been here in a while. Like, a month or two. Anyway....stuff's sucked. Well, about half of stuff. I went river rafting in Wyoming, and that was awesome, but then I got home and my mom drugged me then dragged me off to get my wisdom teeth out. Yeah. So here I am, all weirded-out on meds (which aren't nearly potent enough to make things interesting). Anyway, since Monday (when I got put on them) I've noticed a MAJOR positive effect on my dream's vividity. Anyway, I'm not sure if it's the medicine or the fact that I'm actually sleeping more than two hours a night that's the cause. Here's the medicine: Pen VK 250 mg, 4 times a day for four days. It's supposed to be an antibiotic, but it seemed a little odd, since most antibiotics are 1 a day for 10 days or so. But whatev, I don't really know much about it beyond that. Roxicet 325 mg, every 4-6 hours for pain and whatnot. It doesn't make me nearly as goofy as whatever the hell I was on after my car accident, but it makes me tired as hell... Anyway, if any of ya' know if any of these have been known to do wierd things to dreams, or sleep in general, just tell me. Thanks

ha i avent been here in a month either...Im in england and stuff, its cool anyways.... when I had my wisdom teeth out, i def remember having sweeter dreams. definitely.

[Tsen]

Yeah, I still haven't figured out whether it was the medicine or what. The last few days I've been off of both, and the dreams haven't decreased in vividity, but the anti-bio will still be in my system for a few days, so I can't rule it out.

roxicet = percocet = oxycodone = lovely nice strong opiate. that stuff gives me wickedly vivid dreams too, and very scary nightmares too.

Yeah that makes me think of some things also. It was like when I was a kid and My mother forced me to go camping with my friends and I didn't want to go. But Back then Stuff Sucked. I hated it. Now whats all this has to do with anything in reference to LD's I have no idea I just thought I share it with you all. Because stuff sucked backed then.

[Tsen]

Yeah, that'd make sense. Thanks, voidofform. I was on another opiate of some form or another back when I got in my car accident, but I don't remember much of the time I was on it. Hm...maybe it was hydrocodone. I dunno. Somethin' like that. The name sounds familiar...Well, thanks for the help, that's really what I was wondering about -Tsen

I highly doubt that the antibiotic would cause more vivid dreams. If anything, I think since the analgesic (pain killer) also makes you sleepy, and you sleep longer, you will generally have a longer REM period (and dream phase) - because didn't you say you only sleep a couple hours a night on a regular basis? Plus, the drug will have specific effects on certain receptors in the brain, causing a slight shift in consciousness - which may also influence more vivid dream states.

Certain drugs definately affect your dreams... and any kind of opiate will... Also valium and a number of its relatives, though I can't remember what it's based from, I just have some heavy experience with clonazopams (I think that's how it's spelled, I don't feel like remembering where I hid the bottle...). Mm, but they put me on Lortab when I had my wisdoms out...
